Merci beaucoup Vincent! This is indeed a good workaround which does the trick.

I continue to think that "bzr help log" is contradicting the behaviour of "searching in the repository", and this help text should be amended.

For example, this in "bzr help log":
    log is bzr's default tool for exploring the history of a branch.
    The branch to use is taken from the first parameter. If no parameters
    are given, the branch containing the working directory is logged.

Reading this suggests that when I do:
  >cd some_branch; bzr log
I'm seeing the log of the branch containing the working directory - some_branch.
-r is described as filtering:
    Revision filtering:
      The -r option can be used to specify what revision or range of revisions
      to filter against.
If -r is filtering, then "bzr log -rX" should be a subset of "bzr log". Which it isn't: actually "bzr log" will show me the branch's log, and "bzr log -rX" will show me X which it isn't in the branch - it's not a subset.

If those are not documentation problems, then what are they...
